Bad- meef, court physician, until’the em- press was absolutely convinced that the life of her son depended on the monk. :Whenever Rasputin was 'ab- sent for any length of time from the city Madame Virubova, according to the monk's story as given :by the newspaper, obtained poisonous pow- ders from the physician and contrived to ‘place ‘them in food brought to Alexius. The result was that during Rasputin’s absenee the delicate health of the young ‘ heir apparent grew steadily .worse, until Rasputin was summoned back to the court when the powders were stopped and Alixus e immediately better. Rasputin always announcd that forty deys. after his death Alexius would fall’ fli. . This. prophesy came true with. start] accuracy, being | caused- the n pers. declares, by ‘Madame- Virubova administering - an- other powder 10 the little grand duke in the hope. of ‘continuing the tradi- tion' of Rasputin’s.influence over the imperiad family and_ preparing th> way -for a suceessor to him. —aae o | TUNNEL BUAST KILLS FIVE. “Wl ot"iulhu woou' rutt, Saturday ‘afternoon in' the ital, Middletown, was the Berlin Congresationai A at ,:‘;lmmatnem? iple Cause of Suliway Esxplosion Under Blackwell’s Island Unknown, New York, March 26.—Although in- -vestigations were conducted by the Public Service commission, the coro- I’s Office ‘and the police, the cause he subv.y ‘ekplosfon under Black- well's Island Saturday night, which re- sulted in the deaths of Willlam Reh, public. service inspector, and three m-mm hu not yet been de- . munmun-‘ and there .
